Chocoholics, rejoice: There's a way for you to indulge in your chocolate cravings without gaining an ounce, and it's called the 'Le Whif' inhaler. The chocolate inhaler is a molecular gastronomist's dream, and combines chocolate with aerosol science.
'Le Whif' is the brainchild of Harvard professor David Edwards and Thierry Marx, inspired by Edwards' book "Whiff." The graphic novel features a vision of the future in which individuals sniff or whiff their food nasally rather than ingesting it orally. Weird.
